it solve? >> the only thing oblique it's all for that tax rates to was going to pay more it was not going to pay more. what tax credits are out there. and also the pitch to the alternative minimum tax everything else was kicked down the the peak three items. in reality, this could have been solved one way or another. the one that we're looking at is like jumping off the grand canyon. ceiling limit, you have the real sequester which will begin march 1st and the fact that the government will run out of money by march 1st. >> catherine: with more land mine said i had as dan kerman mentioned. and some of them--and you said that you have considered this is a victory for the president. and is it that much of a victory? >> i think that it is as

send aid to storm victims. >> speaker boehner is the one. he walked off the floor. he refused to tell us why. the verbal blasts followed by a closed door meeting on capitol hill. and a dramatic change of heart. the storm clouds are clearing. 60=billion dollars of aid should be on its way within weeks. kron four's grant lodes shows us how the republican party nearly became the victim of a natural disaster. >> "the yeas are 257 the nays are 167. the motion is adopted." >> reporter: this is how it was supposed to happen. right after the final vote on the fiscal cliff, the house was supposed to approve an aid bill for sandy's victims. instead, house speaker john boehner simply walked out of the chamber. >> i was called at 11:20 last night. that this authority was told. he yelled at congressman >> lobiondo saying i'm not meeting with you people. so he wouldn't tell us why. he decided to sneak off in the dark of night i was given no explanation. i was called at 11:20 last told that authority for the speaker. >> reporter: in october, new jersey governor christie angered other republicans by
